Reply #94: Not to the ER lately - couldn't afford it. [View All]

I understand your question lonestarnot, but the article did not state that the parents have no insurance. Here's the quote: "The money is to be used for the health, education, maintenance and support of the child."

I have no health insurance whatsoever and back in January, when both hub and I had the flu, we had to figure out which one was most sick so that person could go to the doctor because that's all we could afford. As I said, I certainly appreciate your defense of the parents, but you're talking to someone who has only been to the doctor once in 6 years and that's only because my 365 day allergies caused my sinuses to become infected. Don't mean to sound like a bi_ch here, but believe me, I know what's its like to have no insurance and worry about it all the time.
